Our mission: We are the center for culture in Central Switzerland.

At the Südpol, a wide audience experiences music, dance and theater live. Our task is to create the best possible conditions for this. We actively encourage our guests’ curiosity for encounters with these art forms.

Together with our partners, we develop an impressive program of concerts, club nights, theater and dance performances, festivals and other events. As passionate hosts, we create an inviting atmosphere and offer appealing gastronomy.

We accompany artistic projects that are developed here and communicate their connections to our visitors. We skilfully maintain networks so that freely producing local artists gain attention beyond the region.

Our values

We stand for a free and open society that constantly questions itself anew through art and culture.

We see ourselves as part of a complex cultural, social and political environment with diverse demands.

We actively shape and promote exchange with our guests and partners.

Our actions are consistently solution-oriented. We intuitively rely on prototypes rather than definitive answers.

We trust in the potential of our employees and enable them to act independently. We respond to criticism fairly and constructively.
